    • Brief Story

      Maria is a refugee and works in a cafe. She took online tech courses back home, but has only recently started attending workshops, after 2 years away from her studies. Her go-to social media app is WhatsApp as she can easily (and for free) contact friends and family back home. She currently does not use LinkedIn or Twitter, but has Facebook and an inactive Github account. Maria and her daughter live with their host family in Coventry. She is a sociable person in real life and likes to bake cakes for her friends.

    • Frustrations

      • Work leaves her physically and mentally drained. She has no energy for studying or reasearch. Language is a barrier.
